GPS LCD Display Project
The circuit it’self is pretty simple, take in the data on one pin, parse it, format it and then display it to a 4×20 LCD module (Hitachi Chipset). That is the basic idea, but you might add in somthing like a mechanical encoder that would allow for changing options or changing settings in the display unit. This might be as simple as a SPDT (Singe Pole Double Throw) switch if the options are as simple as two settings.
